"The figure is an allegorical representation of Queen Mary Thomas, one of four women who led the 1878 ‘Fireburn’ revolt against the continuing exploitation of Black workers in St. Croix after slavery had long ended. Queen Mary’s regal presence invites a conversation about representations of Black resistance in places where colonial histories have been made invisible."

Erinma Onyewuchi BC '24 made the zine under the direction of Miriam Neptune, Director of Milstein Center Exhibits, Programming and Public Engagement.
